With writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, as well as Marvel super producer Kevin Feige, directors Joe and Anthony Russo crafted one heck of a superhero movie in the form of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The Community and Arrested Development veterans were on fine form during their Empire Podcast spoiler special interview - and you can listen to it in full here - but if you're not into the whole audio thing, here are 15 particularly fascinating moments from it in text form (with plenty more still to be heard in the full podcast version).

Joe: “It’s great to have a film like this which has something so dramatic at the end of it, such a dramatic shift in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as it creates a lot of energy around the movie.”

“It was in place before we got involved with the project. We did do a lot of work with the guys once we got on board, polishing the script, came up with a lot of action set pieces, brought a De Palma-esque influence to some of the action moments. It’s the way (Marvel producer) Kevin Feige operates: he has big ideas that he wants to see in the film, and he says, ‘Go crazy! Just make sure at the end that S.H.I.E.L.D. is over.’”

That sounds alot like the creative freedom Stan Lee used to give his artists, particularly Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Can't wait to see how the events of CA: TWS affect Avengers 2. More

Captain Americas death

if contracts are coming up, and i hear that Chris Evans has two more movies and Sebastian Stan has about 7... does that mean they'll copy the comics and have the winter soldier become the new Captain America when Rodgers dies? More
